You know you're from California if...

California... So as not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, and

Texan jokes, you know you're from California if:

1. Your coworker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.

2. You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house.

3. You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation in

English.

4. Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named

Flower.

5. You can't remember . . . is pot illegal?

6. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.

7. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown, and

you can taste the difference between Sumatran! and Ethiopian.

8. You can't remember . . is pot illegal?

9. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.

10. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.

11. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing a baseball cap and

sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney.

12. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.

13. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station:

"STORM WATCH."

14. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with

their cells or pagers.

15. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early to

avoid all the weather related accidents.

16. Both you AND your dog have therapists.

17. The Terminator is your governor.

18. If you drive illegally, they take your driver's license. If you're here

illegally, they want to give you one.

19. The documentation at the DMV is in multiple languages and people complain

its not in English any more.

20. School administrators have to be fluent in Spanish. This is so they can be

lambasted from parents in multiple languages.
